2009 Discussion-We'll make time fly by!

[lmillercrew]

I wa able to take advantage too!! I had to cancel my room only ressies and rebook a package. I did a one day base ticket per person to get the deal and saved $100. It's not as much as some because I had room only, but hey, we added a park ticket too. We'll be there June 16-25.
I was curious about the $200 gc though. Someone mentioned that they will recieve it upon check in. Anyone else have any ideas about the gift cards? Is everyone that gets in on this deal getting one? It would be nice

I got to use the discount
I have a TA so I am not sure how it all works, but we did have to pay for room only for one night and then I guess book for three days and then book for 4days and get the three free confused3 ) since we are staying for 11 nights. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as my TA understands and I am still there for 11 nights, I'm okay. Plus a $200 gift card, doesn't get any better than this.
I was almost tempted to just stay for 14 nights and use the discount twice (then I remembered that my family that is in tampa would be upset if we didn't get to see them)

I believe that the gift cards are only good for trips reserved up until March, so I don't think that you will be getting one for a June trip. But have fun.

Well I have never eaten at the Brown Derby but I think if they are reasonably well behaved it should be fine.

I loved the 50's Prime Time restaurant. The food was wonderful the server was friendly and funny and the price was reasonable. The pot roast was incredibly good.

Thanks,

I think I will keep the 50's Prime Time Diner. All our reservations have been made and things are getting excited. I've been soooo busy at school and this might be my last chance to get on this website until the end of the month. I got an email from the agent while away at a conference and was sooo excited to see that a discount code had been applied to our March stay (can't believe it). We got $397 off our price and a $200 Disney gift card to use in the parks to boot. Needless to say this will help with the money exchange!

Well, I think we've made our final decisions on dining. Here's what we have:

Day 1 - Kona dinner (just hang out at the resort after check-in, unpack, relax, bed early!)

Day 2 - Chef Mickey's dinner, already booked!

Day 3 - Mama Melrose Fantasmic Pkg. (this is assuming there is Fantasmic, it's a Sunday, and there is one the Sunday before in April, otherwise I have to move things around)

Day 4 - Ohana dinner - this was what we decided to add with the extra night we booked. DH is a meat-lover and it's right at the Poly, soo...

Day 5 - CRT Lunch for DD and I (DH and DS will do CS); T-Rex dinner (OOP)

Day 6 - Crystal Palace dinner

Day 7 - LeCellier dinner. This is the one I'm most worried about getting when the ADR line Finally opens up! We did our last meal here last trip and it was great. I'd really like to do that again, but we can't do too late with the kids, particularly our last night. So fingers crossed for 5:30 or so!!

I'm so happy that everyone is getting to use the discount! That just puts a little extra magic in it!

I know I won't get so lucky with our dates, but I can always hope!

We were able to move our vacation up from October to May to save money! It feels so much closer now! I can hardly wait. We decided to move down to a value resort instead of a moderate and saved about $900 total!

Yes, you are right. Dangit!!!

 

[Disneyfan71]

Well it looks like we're going to have to push our trip back a bit to September instead of January. For one the weather will be better and this will give us more time to save money for souveneirs and such---mainly because I hear the weather in January can be so unpredictable!!! Besides, I'd rather wait and get a nicer room/resort.

 

[tikkipoo]

Good plan Disneyfan71! Plus, you will have more time to spend with us

I love hearing about how many people are able to take care of the fantastic deals! Let's all keep our fingers crossed for something equally amazing to happen for the second half of the year! I have my own reason for I was finally able to buy my tickets!!! I had been researching for a whole year, had been certain about which airline and about how much it would cost, but the same airline came up at 1000 more Euro than last year! The shock was harsh! However, a little more searching got us on Swiss Air for only about 200 Euro more than last year's prices. A little out of budget, but the tickets are bought!! Now the planning is official

 

[tikkipoo]

Well, it's been done. I have officially booked my trip! All I have to do now is find a ride. In four days the fun of booking airfare will begin

Anyone else search like 100 times a day from the time flights open up to try to find the best deal?

 

[Nurse_Mommy4]

Good Morning Tikipoo,

I'm right there with you.

I'm actually getting nervous now though, cuz I'm under 7 months and I still haven't booked a flight .....getting close though.

Thats what I was doing and now I am trying not to look since I went ahead and purchased the tickets. Too afraid now I will see them drop and I will be mad at myself for buying so early.

I know what you mean. But, I think I have decided that I am going to pick a number, and if I find tickets below that number I will book and not look anymore. I am not a person who can wait it out to see if prices drop even more. I would go mad!

that's how I was when I booked mine, so afraid that a great deal was going to come around and I was going to feel crazy for booking as early as I did (I booked at little under a year out). I am glad that I did though my parents are now looking for flights to florida at the same time that we are going and tickets are still just as expensive.

DID YOU SEE HOW CLOSE YOU'RE COUNTER IS!!! 3 MONTHS!


I'm glad to hear about the ticket prices. Makes me feel a little more confident doing it that way.

 

[Boncho]

My sister and I were going to wait until at least next month before booking our trip but when the deal (7 days for the price of 4) came out, we couldn't resist. We figured since we were saving $400 each, we weren't going to get it any cheaper - I think we're more excited than the kids!!!

 

[Boncho]

O.K., my ticker doesn't work. Can somebody refresh me on how to do it. My memory just isn't what it used to be - old age I guess.

 

[Boncho]

Okay, now, all I have to do is pack!!!
I'm soooo excited, I don't care if the prices go down -- you'd think it was our first time.
